    It TOTALLY works. Its not a weightloss program though- its a 'turn you into a runner so you can run to lose weight/feel great/have some zen' program.

    I had already lost most of my weight before starting C25K. But I totally agree with this ^^. Also, for me, after a few months of running, but not strength training, I felt like my muscles were starting to go "soft." Once I reintroduced strength training and kept running, I felt like everything was better balanced. Now, I run once a week and strength train twice a week. Throw in some yoga and/or swimming too. Everything in moderation!

    Hi, Im about to start doing it, but I'm hesitant if this is a good weight loss training for me, I only want to lose aprox 20 pounds. Any opinions?
    thanks

    Yep! And lots of added walking & calorie counting:

    I finished c25k and am now doing my own running intervals and walking, some weight training. I've lost 13lbs in 40days so far doing this. Photo shows 30lbs from left to right.

    Ahh I really can't say enough great things about c25k! I remember the very first day I ran day1week1 I thought I was going to pass out. I could barely breath and was incredibly sore for the days to follow - had to wait four days before I could run day2week1. However after just a couple weeks I started to notice an incredible difference in my endurance and the overall strength of my body. I finished the c25k app in three months and I continue to run now. This program aided in my weight loss and continues to as I still go for runs whenever I can fit them in usually ranging from 3-5km at a time.
